近年来,许多作者观察到了一场新的工业革命或工业4.0的开始,其迹象被认为是全面的计算机化、机器人化和“智能网络”的形成(Geissbauer et al.,2014;施瓦布,2016;韦列夫卡,2018;贡查洛娃和贝兹德涅日赫,2018;列别捷夫、莫基娃和罗迪奥诺夫,2018)。第四次工业革命,更广为人知的名字是工业4.0,源于2011年的倡议,由商人、政治家和科学家领导,他们认为这是提高抽象

The phenomenon of population ageing is a modern demographic process that has never occurred before on such a scale and with such an intensity, and affects societies in Europe and other developed countries worldwide. Hence, the human factor seems to gain importance in modern organisations, as entrepreneurs and managers face the challenge of numerous processes occurring in the socio-economic environment. Thus, apart from strategic management of human resources, it is necessary to take into account demographic aspects, focusing on actions aimed at mitigating the effects of labour shortages in different age groups by analysing the age structure of employees or managing multi-generational working teams. For the purpose of this publication, demographic changes in Poland and Slovakia were assessed and selected results of a survey on intergenerational cooperation in organisations were presented. Further, the concept of demographic management as an element of strategic management of human resources was proposed. Applied quantitative and qualitative analyses were conducted based on survey results and data from Eurostat statistical databases. The survey was conducted since March – till April 2017 on a sample of N = 254 respondents, using the diagnostic survey method.

Todays’ market is ruled by several mobile devices applications for all types of proposes. Still, for many destinations, it lacks applications that work in an integrated way, combining cooperative mechanisms that allow the effective support the wide range of tourists need when they visit a destination. Many applications, currently available, to the tourism industry are limited in content and cultural offerings, and commercial applications only communicate with their partners and have no cultural content. This paper presents a framework of a mobile application implementation to support the tourist information needs when tourists are visiting the Portuguese city of Mirandela in which interest points are combined with commercial content. The presented model allows the tourist to have only one application that integrates the contents that he wishes/subscribes, both cultural and commercial, creating a parametrizable universal profile that can be accessed by any of the entities in the system. This approach will benefit both tourists and entities involved. This will also allow increasing the dissemination of regional products and/or services and thereby increase their market potential and consequently their sales.

The paper is devoted to the problems of assessing the effectiveness of digital business transformation. The author reviews the existing approaches to assessment, identifies the most representative methods and develops an integrated approach to evaluating the effectiveness of company digital transformation. This approach involves the use of a number of traditional qualitative and quantitative methods: balanced scorecard, the total cost of ownership, investment analysis methods, etc. Practical aspects of the developed approach application are illustrated on the example of the Russian printing company.

The general objective of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between strategy and organizational structure, namely how the use of Management Accounting and Control Systems (MACS) contributes to the successful implementation of the internationalization strategy and consecutively to the improvement of the company’s performance.We conducted a single case study in a Portuguese company in the services sector using interview and desk research. The company’s internationalization model (IM) was characterized and studied through a process approach. Subsequently, the relationship between the MACS use and the implementation of the internationalization strategy were analyzed. Results suggest that MACS were not only instrumental to the implementation of the company’s internationalization strategy, but they also “shaped” it, and were “shaped” by it. The study contributes to the MACS literature showing how the internationalization process and the MACS use fit to improve the company’s performance.

The growing trend for globalisation changes the way companies organise themselves and their way of acting, and impels them to consider the development of their activities in the international trade. This paper revises the main contributions regarding the debate on the internationalisation of companies. Considering that internationalisation is part of the company’s growth strategy, existing literature on companies’ internationalisation approaches and models are reviewed in order to develop a theoretical framework. With this study, the authors provide a tool that allows the identification of the different models and approaches to internationalisation. The results indicate that companies have eight models available for their internationalisation process. Finally, based on a broad literature review, this paper presents a very useful research systematisation for future research studies.

The specificity of the island economy of Corsica is characterized by the ascendancy of very small farmers and producers, of tradespeople which compose 95 % of its entrepreneurial fabric. The fact remains that in the era of the globalization, this territory mediterranean islander of reduced size is completely involved in a problem of attractiveness in search of foundation to perpetuate its dynamics of growth.In this context, the politics of promotion and welcome of the investments geographically mobile presents a multidimensional character in which the socioeconomic environment and the existence of qualified human resources constitute fundamental parameters. For that purpose, the existence of a plan of human capital investment can establish an unprecedented opportunity to engage a virtuous trajectory of territorial development.It’s precise in this perpective that the University vocational training center (CFA UNIV) in the Corsican region wishes, since its creation in January, 2009, to highlight the occupational integration of the students-alternants of the University of Corsica, as assets of valuation of the characteristic cardinal parameters of a territory in phase of structuring (simultaneous growth of the capacity of employability and the quality of the occupational integration of its human resources, massive evolution of the degree of skills’ acquisition in direct links with needs emanating from the territory on the subject, fluidity of the transfert of the knowledge mastering thanks to the sandwich course training, sustainable raising awareness to the entrepreneurship...).After highlighting the specific features of University of Corsica’s sandwich training programme as pivotal to Corsica island’s Regional Vocational Development Programme Roadmap [‘CPRDF’] strategy, this paper brings an analysis of the lessons learned from the pioneering example of the CFA UNIV in the Corsican region in the perspective of a dynamic conception of the Corsican territory’s pattern of structuring and attractiveness.
